Depression takes a person beyond feelings of sadness, to a very dark and lonely place. Poetry about depression offers the reader a glimpse into this darkness and isolation. Depression is a serious mental disorder. A creative outlet, like writing poetry, can offer relief to some sufferers.

The Dam by the Bridal Shop
How we fall
like the river
ends
at the cliffs
and we did too.
Anyone's edges
will show true
after years of
the rain
eats
away
at you.
The rock will become black
and the ground
falls
through.
How we fall
out of the blue
a few
bad words
a few
sad
truths
like the river
ends
at the cliffs
and we did too.
Anyone's edges
will show true
after years of
the rain
eats
away
at you.
The rock will become black
and the ground
falls
through.
How we fall
out of the blue
a few
bad words
a few
sad
truths

Where truth hides
Down below
Truth lies hidden
Underneath fraudulent emotions
Who shroud the secrets
With deceptive covers
They put on a good show
For all to see
While secretly hiding
Their dark doppelgangers
Those true feelings
Only rise to the surface
When no one else is around
These feelings are...
The one's who want to suffocate
And break you down
The one's who want to take a little bit of
Life everytime they arise
The one's who want to keep you hidden
And all alone
Till you...
Truth lies hidden

where were you
in the corner
of this room
the silhouette
of regret it looms
feelings felt just
fade too soon
reaching for you
and i never knew
just how it felt
to hurt this bad
deep down i know
your glad & its so sad
this hollow heart
once a work of art
you can’t jumpstart
what is already falling apart
in front of me i couldn’t see
all of the deceit
the heart on my sleeve
blinded me so innocently
sword of deceit unsheathes
gently grazed upon my cheek ...

Tormentous Thoughts
You never leave
You're always suffocating me
I lose control
from all the endless berating
I've come undone
steal my mind please end this pain
This life means nothing to you
This shell you live in haunts me
My mind is divided
It seems our souls have collided
The only way to end this
Is either to lose my life
Or to take yours
You're always suffocating me
I lose control
from all the endless berating
I've come undone
steal my mind please end this pain
This life means nothing to you
This shell you live in haunts me
My mind is divided
It seems our souls have collided
The only way to end this
Is either to lose my life
Or to take yours

too human
a deep seeded depression....
static gray lenses; very poor reception; staring into others' eyes-questioning the concept of "connections"
a brain in shock that can not stop, indefinite infections; then numb comes through like music or an audio expression;
as if to reassure one's self-no point in second guessing; one's "unarmed" in a universe that promotes "smith & wesson"(or any other "weapon")

Crippling Pain
Crippling pain isn't always the same.
It won't go away.
You are gone cause I was too late.
Now I'm here crying for two days.
Soon to be three just wish you'd see.
With you no longer here daily I bleed.
I wish you had stayed.
Now I'm without a friend.
Left only with crippling pain.
It won't go away.
You are gone cause I was too late.
Now I'm here crying for two days.
Soon to be three just wish you'd see.
With you no longer here daily I bleed.
I wish you had stayed.
Now I'm without a friend.
Left only with crippling pain.

An Hour too Late
I feel like I was an hour too late.
Now you're gone and I'm left with pain.
I miss you my friend.
Now I'm cutting and crying again.
Wish I was there sooner to help you.
Blaming myself again.
I lost another friend.
Crying for days will be the case.
All because I was an hour too late.
Now you're gone and I'm left with pain.
I miss you my friend.
Now I'm cutting and crying again.
Wish I was there sooner to help you.
Blaming myself again.
I lost another friend.
Crying for days will be the case.
All because I was an hour too late.

Old Heart
I have no words.
Yet they still flow through gritted teeth.
They hold meaning to those who never felt free to be.
I have no emotions.
Yet I feel restless when I smoke my weed.
My tears only show when I'm not drowning under the sea.
I have no walls.
Yet I see crumbling bricks of meat.
They're part of my heart and they beat as if they're still part of me.
I have no love.
Yet my love letters are tiny and discreet.
If I blink I miss them and ignore my one and only plea.
To love me, as I have loved those who didn't...
Yet they still flow through gritted teeth.
They hold meaning to those who never felt free to be.
I have no emotions.
Yet I feel restless when I smoke my weed.
My tears only show when I'm not drowning under the sea.
I have no walls.
Yet I see crumbling bricks of meat.
They're part of my heart and they beat as if they're still part of me.
I have no love.
Yet my love letters are tiny and discreet.
If I blink I miss them and ignore my one and only plea.
To love me, as I have loved those who didn't...

My Valley
My eyes red and swollen,
I cry for you my dear sanity.
I’m losing it on all levels of existence,
Losing grip of my own humanity.
In search for truths I will not find,
Existing only to wonder and ponder.
The feeling of being and draw breath,
Alone and misunderstood I wander.
Through a valley of tears and broken dreams,
I walk the long and wavey trench of sorrow.
Wondering if I will ever reach the end,
Beginning a day without tomorrow.
A short period of enlightenment and relieve,
24 hours of pure bliss and...

Questionable visions
Delusions plaquing my thoughts,
Visions haunting my dreams.
I don’t understand them,
I can’t decipher the schemes.
Do they mean anything?
Do I need to act on these manifestations?
Are they just scribbles of a troubled mind?
Just a collection of vague hallucinations?
How do I tell which is which?
Is there a true and false reality?
Can I distinguish the differences?
Do they affect my morality?
Visions haunting my dreams.
I don’t understand them,
I can’t decipher the schemes.
Do they mean anything?
Do I need to act on these manifestations?
Are they just scribbles of a troubled mind?
Just a collection of vague hallucinations?
How do I tell which is which?
Is there a true and false reality?
Can I distinguish the differences?
Do they affect my morality?

dread
darkness gloom shine inside
greedy need with all its shame
sanction the guilt and bleed
in the unraveling is the unveiling
regrets form spinning doubt
anxiety builds and courage diminishes
the truth of the hour peaks
fear is ruling within
in my solemn silence I dread
solace in my sanctuary denied
the bleak takes face and speaks
listless betrayer is my inner voice
blasphemies guild in lies
thieves, are my thoughts
soothsayers of the soul foresee my fall
on display for all to see is...
greedy need with all its shame
sanction the guilt and bleed
in the unraveling is the unveiling
regrets form spinning doubt
anxiety builds and courage diminishes
the truth of the hour peaks
fear is ruling within
in my solemn silence I dread
solace in my sanctuary denied
the bleak takes face and speaks
listless betrayer is my inner voice
blasphemies guild in lies
thieves, are my thoughts
soothsayers of the soul foresee my fall
